Original Advice
“DO: Ask for straightforward answers and timelines.”
Set the Clock on Fakery
Vague answers breed fake promises. You’ve been tolerating soft yeses and open-ended someday—this is how counterfeit connections survive. Put a clock to their claims. Ask the blunt question on repeat: When? By what date? What does done look like? If they can’t name it, they don’t intend it. Draw a line with time. Half of your “maybes” will dissolve on contact.
Deadlines turn fog into form. Timelines force resources, effort, and truth to surface. The fake relies on ambiguity to keep siphoning your attention; a date closes the leak. Put numbers on every promise. Demand owners, amounts, and next steps. Put it in writing or it doesn’t exist. Schedules are sacred fire for you—heat that tests metal, melts plastic, and leaves only what holds.
